This maybe have been posted before, if so sorry, but I thought it was pretty cool. Just happened to be explaining to my wife the NASDAQ Y2k bubble, and showed her the chart, and I knew it looked it looked familiar!



Hmmm  Getting closer.. ?? :-)

I think it is better to tell the whole story:



Nasdaq bubble popped because people were investing a too much too early, they were anticipating future returns but nowadays Nasdaq has surpassed by far the ath when the bubble popped.

Something similar may happen in the crypto world, many alts will disappear, as it happened with some tech companies, but crypto world has definitely a future, the same way tech companies had a future when the bubble popped.

Nope, no 30% correction, maybe a 10% at the best, but it is def taking off!

I am looking at each of the times BTC "bubbled"


#1 From a base of .80 to a high of $35, back a new base of $5-10  (2011)

#2 From a base of $15 to a high of $200, back to a new base of $100-110 (2012 13)

#3 From a base of $100 to a high of $1150, back to a new base of 500-600 (2013-14)

#4 From a base of $800 to a high of 8000?( I actually guess 10k), back to a new base of  4k? (2016-17)

#5 From a base of 5k to a high of 50K back to new base of 30k? (2019 -21?)??

Hmmm  Getting closer.. ?? :-)

I see you resurrected this thread.  These old threads are sometimes fun to look back over. The 30% equities correction never materialized; the stock market has been on a pretty consistent tear since the OP. Longest bull run in history at this point. I'm not convinced of any correlation between btc and equity markets anyway, except that in the next market correction, I expect both crypto and equities to suffer a big pullback, and I expect btc to take bigger losses.  I do want to point out how funny it seems now that the graph in the OP was concerned about a collapse from the $200s as a bubble, when bitcoin routinely trades up or down $200 in a matter of hours now. Sitting above $7000, the concern of the drop from $250 to $150 seems adorable! 

Btw, I'm totally concerned btc is currently a bubble, especially because nobody seems to see the constant price rise as a problem. That parallels the .com crash and the housing crash.

So assuming the correlation between BTC and NASDAQ does exists, with only the time frames being different, then QQQ should see a setback of 30% in the next couple years, then a blast off! starting in 2020. See ya then.......

The difference is that there is no central bank who can pump in lots of cash when price crashed

You can't compare these two graphs. They only shows the same phenomenon which is bubbles. They are everywhere and that's nothing wrong about it. I believe some time later there will be another btc bubble.  Wink

well I dont really consider y2k a bubble
It was just people investing money in a new technology most didnt fully understand
some people invested in businesses that didn't even have a clear business plan
well everyones free to do what they want with their money
you earn some you lose some

It was a bubble. Anybody would tell you that.
well I guess what I'm trying to say that it wasn't necessarily a bad bubble.
I mean companies like google and amazon came out of it.
Unlike the real estate bubble, which was is propped up by government housing subsidies.

FTFY

$85 Billion a month in Mortgage Backed Securities sound familiar?

Unintentionally funny.  Saying something is not X and then "proving it" by describing X.

Were you posting this to tell us you have a wife or the correlation of the two charts? I'd bet on the first if it was verifiable.

I guess I didn't realize that being married was such a big deal here.  Roll Eyes

Not only NASDAQ, the global stock market rise, the price of bitcoin go up, otherwise the price fall.

My take from the two charts, is this;  NASDAQ took decades to blast off and then begin solid forward movement. BTC is doing the same thing in years.

wow guys thats really prolific - put in a small egg now and retire in years not decades! Beyond pure btc investments, there are also btc company asset shares that can be purchased from bitfunder.  We've even got Rich Winklevoss twins pushing for a public btc etf...those should all be signals to buy in now...not after its too late and they are 3k a coin mainstream.  (3k is a wild fantasy of a guess and i'd likely cash out long before they hit that value)

People overinvesting in things they don't understand is pretty much what defines a bubble.

The interesting part of the graphs you showed is that on second look you notice that the bitcoin price is actually a predictor of what comes next for the NASDAQ chart. The bitcoin chart shows a downtrend of red before recovering, and the NASDAQ chart hasn't yet reached that downtrend. Compare each rise and fall one by one to see what I mean.
